An egg of a human female will live for up to 24 hours.

If more than one egg is released during ovulation there may be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours maximum. The individual may be fertile for up to a week beforehand due to the presence of fertile cervical mucus which helps the sperm survive in the vagina and reach the fallopian tubes where sperm can go into a form of hibernation while waiting for ovulation to occur.
